This is how my hair is today after sleeping with my hair in rags next morning instant hairdo...just add a flower.....

I found this flower pinned onto an old straw hat actually there were 2. i use them in my hair or as a corsage etc....Its always good to look for old flowers on dilapidated old hats as they often get tossed aside as unwearable.....

It looks like someone has taken a bite out of this picture but its clever photography(my signage board). I am really in love with all things green and especially this industrial table. I love industrial pieces and like to mix them with softer accessories like these freesia's in a preserve jar for contrast.

Another 1950's floral this one is so pretty. With it's pleated skirt it's so swishy. Measurements l will post later but l think it's about 8-10 AUS. Measurements B: 36" W: 27.5-28" H: free!

A lovely cottage table on castor's $295.

l love this scarf it has many colours and goes with most of my outfits scarf's are one of my ultimate accessories and can disguise a bad a hair day!

Lilac out of my garden...l have been waiting all year, it seems for this to flower it smells divine....

Sweet little cotton gingham B: 39" W: 33" H: 40" $45.

Oh and l found this old school storage cupboard it has a rail like a wardrobe but on one side it has two little shelves and above one it reads.....(see below)

So old school...he he he

sweet hinge detail....

This little sweety is a 1940's kitchen cupboard l think it would be great in a bathroom....

This has to be my favourite floral in the shop at the moment love the colour combination B: 44" W: 29" H: free $220.

This one is a close second it is a gorgeous grape print.....alas as l was putting it on the mannequin l had a moment with the zipper. It had been replaced with a nylon zip and nylon zips are notorious for being a little dodgy so off it goes to be fit with a new zip! B: 37" W: 30" H: free $220 .

This one is also pretty cute with matching belt it buttons up the front from the waist with an unusual pleat at the front closure...l love these floral prints they look like an oil painting....B: 33" W: 28" H: free $220.

The new slow magazine is now out and in our shop......this is a fabulous mag with loads of inspiration about slow living...

small gingham is really flattering and i just love the floral trim....the outer fabric is all cotton with a polyester inner lining.....the back is where all the stretch is these lovely's are shirred right through the back with non-perishable rubber to withstand salt water and chlorine....they are truly flattering with many a customer wandering out of the fitting rooms in them...it is so refreshing to see ladies who normally avoid the water feel excited about having a cossie that compliments without clinging!!!!
